Hundreds of people flocked to the Events Centre at the Norfolk Showground in Norwich on Wednesday 9^th and Thursday 10^th October to watch 24 models strut their stuff in the Keeping Abreast More Than Just Fashion Shows.

Keeping Abreast Chair of Trustees Emma Queensborough said: “It was an absolute privilege to see all these ladies come together with their nearest and dearest to showcase exactly what our charity is all about.”

Volunteer Claire , who was one of the models in the Show said: “It was an amazing experience, I’m proud of myself and to support Keeping Abreast who are still supporting me is fantastic. Being up on the stage was just amazing, the camaraderie with the girls was awe-inspiring.”

The Fashion Shows showcased the latest looks from a range of Norfolk retailers including Scarlet, Elora, Lady B Loves, John Lewis and Marks & Spencer.

Model Kim from Norwich was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and had a mastectomy and immediate DIEP breast reconstruction, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

She said: “When I was waiting for my surgery, I went to my local Support Group, which was at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital at the time, to see other people’s types of surgery and from that I became a volunteer because it helped me so much.”

Fellow volunteer Sam White said: “I was in it before but this time I was backstage helping and giving encouragement to the models. I’ve contributed by making them feel good, given them confidence from my experience.”

Thanks to everyone who supported this amazing event, roll on 2026!
